Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:51:32 +0000http://bigmamaspeaks.wordpress.com/?p=73#comment-50There are ways of naturally boosting your supply ( http://atlantamomofthree.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/lactation-cookies/ ), and, like you said, stress probably has the opposite effect, so try to stay on the positive side! 😀 I make sure to drink a 2 L bottle of water a day (the body has to have something to make it with, right? 😉 ) and when I nurse, I mentally relax and enjoy the time. My milk comes in SUPER fast when I am calm. If I’m stressed it takes longer and the BABY gets stressed! You’re doing great! 🙂

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:25:44 +0000http://bigmamaspeaks.wordpress.com/?p=47#comment-46Both my kids walked before 11 months. And I think it was becasue they realised that if they wanted something, they would have to do it for themselves. And, please note, that it was pure me at that stage: no meds, alcohol, or any other mood-altering substances.
But I am so proud of them, both. They are self-reliant, and know how to stand up for themselves.

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:14:12 +0000http://bigmamaspeaks.wordpress.com/?p=47#comment-44My older child has always even very independent.. Even as a baby.. I used to carry her everywhere.. My mom told me that doing that would make her spoiled and co-dependent, I of course being the rebellious daughter told her it wouldn’t..

When she was 10 months old I put it to a test.. I sat Sarah down and walked into the kitchen without her.. And nothing.. She didn’t mind.. She quietly played with her bottle *mashed it into the floor to make a milk puddle* and waited my return..

I had a coffee.. Started dinner and put a load of laundry in the wash.. None of it bothered her.. When I was done I picked her back up and she leaned on my shoulder babbling to her bottle as I held her in my arms.

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:04:01 +0000http://bigmamaspeaks.wordpress.com/?p=47#comment-43Ag, don’t feel bad. We all have our moments where we are not the perfect ‘mommy blogger’. You have obviously done a reasonably good job until now … hence her independance and A+ for maturity. I have a 9 year old who is also super independant, and I fear she is like that, ‘cos I am like I am … Survival of the fittest.
